In essence, a great deal of technical know-how learned from <strong>Totem<\/strong> products, including the legendary \u201c<em>Model One<\/em>\u201d and \u201c<em>Element FIRE v2<\/em>\u201d, was applied to the <strong><em>KIN ONE<\/em> <\/strong>design.

The <em>MHEX<\/em> woofer (<strong><em>M<\/em><\/strong><em>ultiple <strong>S<\/strong>trata <strong>H<\/strong>ex<\/em> Cone) is stiffer than metal but reacts very fast and sounds like paper. The titanium infused soft dome tweeter is harmoniously matched to both this woofer and the cabinet, resulting in perfect phase response. Next, upon a first look at the <strong><em>KIN ONE<\/em> <\/strong>you can\u2019t help but notice they appear to be a much smaller version of the \u201c<em>Element Fire v2<\/em>\u201d (which has an MSRP that is 14\u00a0times more expensive).

For starters, they are easy to listen to over extended periods of time as they effortlessly and gradually draw you into your music. There are a multitude of reasons for this. It becomes immediately apparent that the soundscape is full-bodied, non-fatiguing and uncongested, featuring lots of spatial cues, exceptional phase linearity and plenty of mid-bass authority.<\/p>\n<p>All genres of music sound realistic and lifelike, thanks to a very open sound signature that creates good space with separation between instruments and voices. The <em>KIN ONE<\/em> has great voicing as the portrayal of instruments is highly accurate along with honest scaling, especially for vocals. Of equal importance, just like all other <strong>Totem<\/strong> loudspeakers, the transients across different frequencies are effortless, producing honest harmonic decay for a very realistic sound. Finally, they can <em>play<\/em> loud while remaining musically clear.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the <strong>Totem Acoustic<\/strong> <em>KIN ONE<\/em> exudes much of what High-Performance Audio brings to a musical experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The <em>KIN ONE<\/em> has an MSRP of $599\u00a0USD and is shipping now.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" title=\"https:\/\/kinbytotem.com\/\" href=\"https:\/\/kinbytotem.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>https:\/\/kinbytotem.com\/<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September 4, 2024\u00a0 \u00a0Montreal, Canada\u00a0\u2014 Throughout Totem Acoustic\u2019s 38\u00a0year storied history, the 2-way monitor loudspeaker has played a very significant role.
